here are a limited number of types of runes and sigils, even if I let them sit in my bags they stack anyway. Even without extra bag slots, getting 4 18 slot bags is not that hard. this gives you almost 100 slots, how much crap do you carry with you?

will shoulder piece be obtainable after wintersday is over?

Whether or not they let it continue after the event, or continue next wintersday, or not continue at all there will be people that are mad. There is no “win” in this situation with gamers.

There was a time GW2 was Casual Friendly

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: kratan.4619

kratan.4619

I am extremely casual in the way I play the game. A normal played day was about 8 hours on a worknight and about 14 per day on a weekend.

I was excited to see that legendary armor was going to be added, but they are locked behind a single way to obtain them, and this is a way that is entirely NOT casual. I have no interest in grouping with other players for their “skilled” event. I don’t even group with players when just farming world bosses. But I can still join in the event even without their permission or consent.

I would much rather play solo and “casually” join a group for an open world event rather than need to study and learn an encounter so that I can assist beating the redundant AI in an instance where we are limited in the number of people to bring.

Only needed to go through four of the oldest pages to find this. This is what players wanted from the first couple weeks and Anet listened.

Mithril, Thick Leather, and Silk

kratan.4619

When the game came out you would get all zone level appropriate drops, and thus zone level salvages. People requested via these forums that at least some of the drops be of the characters level and not the zones level.

This change is due to Anet actually listening to their customer base. So, players now have exactly what they asked for.

I like this idea, this means that in a close matchup that you have a chance on Friday night and Saturday to make an attempt to catch up and you still have Saturday night and Sunday to “build your lead” for the week.

Fishing was so much fun in Everquest. Quad-kite wyverns around in Cobalt Scar, then go fish for Cobalt cod while regaining mana. I made a ton o plat from selling the cod oil, used in other crafting profs.

Sounds more like OP just wants to move faster without having to “waste” traits slot, runes, sigils on moving faster. They simply do not want to have to make the choice.

I have played other games, WoW and DaoC, that have had test servers and the only times I ever saw anybody there was when they announced a weekend test for something specific. Sounds kind of like a BWE to me anyway.

Very few ,if any, were actually playing the test server to “test”. PTRS seems like more of a waste of a server to me.

Wedding ideas in GW2 currently

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: kratan.4619

kratan.4619

Weddings should be an in-game function. But why stop there, let’s go all in if you want to get married in-game.

Both banks need to become joint accounts. Let’s say that any withdrawal worth more than 50G/day needs to be agreed upon by both spouses.

Would need to include a way to figure out a split of what is in the banks. Can base it on time played, gold earned, what you came into the marriage with. Maybe have a divorce brawl, similar to costume brawl. Maybe even have a divorce quest.

TY Anet for Transgender NPC!

kratan.4619

I play this game to get away from real life, it is my escape, and when something like this is placed in the game then real life begins to intrude. The only thing about this is that this has caused an intrusion of real life into the game I play for an escape.

It does not matter if I ever even see the NPC, just the fact that it is apparently a controversial topic on the forums or in chat in game offends.

Since we are bringing the real world into the game then all the people who are crying transphobic to anyone who does not agree that this NPC is awesome, just remember that if even one person is offended, ANET needs to listen.

Cloth harvesting nodes wont change prices

I wouldn’t care what the price of cloth would be if we had this, because I can reliably go and harvest it myself and have no need to check the prices the smae as I don’t for wood or ore.

Question for Dev's/Playerbase

Why are people in a hurry to reach max level?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: kratan.4619

kratan.4619

The only reason I play this game is to level up, one I hit 80 I finish up world completion then make another character to begin leveling up again. There is little for me to do at 80. I especially enjoy having the option to level up through WvW.

How much have you spent on Gems?

Unlock all Waypoints

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: kratan.4619

kratan.4619

Look, like a good many of you in here, I’m a bit of an alt-a-holic, but to blame the game for being boring because you are having to unlock everything over and over again…?

Uhm…that would be YOUR fault for making that many alts, probably in quick succession with one another. I get it. By the 10th one it can get REAL boring, but that’s not Anet’s problem to fix. That’s yours.

I take a good few months between characters and I don’t mean one or two months.

This isn’t about being omg so lazy as you people have lambasted us – it’s just a minor QoL issue that suits, I do imagine, quite a percentage of players.

The one time I became “burnt out” was when I played my mesmer from beta to 1.5 years into the game.

Regarding the poster above me, I actually swap to thief and have had him as my main since then. Thief pride! Point is that I believe most of us wanting this are not new to the game, we are often veterans who simply enjoy having a range of characters to play across the years and not be limited by this QoL issue.

If you fanboy this think of it this way: Anet gets money if they make it a gem store item.

Whilst I wouldn’t be totally happy with that, I would rather it be an item earned and achieved, I would be satisfied.

If you’re against it because some irrational issue like you think we’re lazy – go level some characters to 80 and get 100% world map exploration over the next 3 years THEN complain to us.

Kthnx and bai whingers.

20 chars/ 19 world completions, getting waypoints = not a big deal.

Improving inventory

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: kratan.4619

kratan.4619

Would an equipment bag help in this case, looted weapons and armor go there first, would swapped weapons go there as well?

Even if this works it is still kind of a lame workaround as you would still be selling the other weapons you just naturally looted from the same bag, and I guess if it filled up then your swapped weapon(s) could end up anywhere again.

Probably best to ignore this post…

Spawn Camping

in WvW

Posted by: kratan.4619

kratan.4619

I am not against spawn camping, I have participated in it a bit and been on the receiving end. That said, how I personally derive fun, even from spawn camping, has no bearing whatsoever to how much fun the enemy is having. There are times when it is fun for me to know that we are totally preventing the enemy from even reaching the field. Overwhelming victory can be quite satisfying.

If you are just worried about not getting as much rewards there is a lot of PvE for that.

Ingame GMs, do they exist?

in WvW

Posted by: kratan.4619

kratan.4619

That we cant speak with GM or pm then I understand and think is ok, but would be good if a map wide report came when a GM ban a player, like Player xxx banned 2weeks for flying, for all 3 servers on the map.

I’m looking at ways to let you all know when we terminate players, at least the most prolific ones.

Would it also be a possibility then to let people know when a hack/exploit was reported but you found that it was just normal gameplay and that the player may not have understood how it was accomplished, I have been guilty of this several times, and thus thought was a hack/exploit?

This could help reduce the number of reports and let you get to the actual hackers/exploiters faster.

CDI-Guilds- Raiding

in CDI

Posted by: kratan.4619

kratan.4619

The only games I have enjoyed raids in have been games that do not limit the number of people who may participate. I have been a member of rather large guilds from EQ1 on and it has not been fun letting someone know that they cannot come on the raid because we are full up.

The limit on players seems to be the major cause of the exclusion of people and the elitism of prove you did it before or gear checks.

If “hardcore” people want to do the raid with fewer people they would still be able to “challenge” themselves. While the less than hardcore people would be able to bring more to enjoy the same content their way. A perfect example of this was doing the dragon raid in DAoC, for hte life of me I cannot remember his name, an open world mob so you can bring as many as you like, but a lot of people would only bring 24 people because then everyone got one of both seal types that dropped.

TLDR; create raids so that you can bring as many or as few people as you want.

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: kratan.4619

kratan.4619

I am all for raid content, as long as you do not limit the number of people for the encounter. As soon as that happens the elitist mentality will take over.

EQ1 raids were open world and you brought as many as you wanted, these were fun because you could bring 40 half geared people instead of being limited to 25 full geared only.

I am not against instancing the raids, just limiting people.

+1 I really miss being able to choose which PvE dailies I would like to do and still have the option, if I feel like it, to do all of the available dailies just for AP.

But we can’t have it because the completionist players complained that they “had” to do all the dailies every day. More dailies just confuse them.

Please name the MMO that has an end game where you do not do the same thing over and over again. So let’s say that they “focus” on SAB, they release it and people have it done in the first week, does this mean that by the end of the first week they should have another update for SAB so people do not have to do it over and over again with the same content? Is this what the “people” want?

LoL week most ppl do it with in the day or hr.

Just as an FYI, if there is a new build available and you have not yet left game to download it the game will drop you to desktop and start the load the next time you try to go to a different zone. There have been more new builds lately and most of them load so fast that you do not even notice the loading bar on your log in screen.
